Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1, Section 15301
Reasons for Exemption
The project was reviewed for potential exemptions and was found to satisfy the standards of a Class 1 Categorical Exemption as specified within Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because the residential care facility for the elderly (RCFE) is proposed to operate within an existing single family residence that will include only negligible expansion. A residential care facility for the elderly is consistent with the property’s General Plan land use designation of High Density Residential and its R-4 zoning that allows residential care facilities serving seven or more residents with the approval of a conditional use permit.
